    Hustler joined the fray in 1966
    Actually the T10 came out in 1964

    Bridgestone/Yamaha only had smaller capacity bikes at that stage.

    Kawasaki were all singles in the 60's

    But I may be wrong

    The H1 triple came out in late '68 and I'm sure the Avengers were around before then.

    Yeah, but it took Yamaha 4 models to realise that an off road bike
    NEEDED a high mount front guard.

    Otherwise, yeah, an excellent bike for the day, revolutionary, versus
    evolutionary. However, they DID make the RT1...
